CMV: America will never stop wanting Greenland
Something people tend to forget when talking about trumps attempt to buy or conquer Greenland is that the US has essentially always wanted the island. And at this point is likely to continue to want the island forever.
1867 was the first time america tried to buy Greenland, but we also made attempts in 1910, 1946, 1955, 2019 and now 2026. In addition the us siezed the island from the danes in 1941 during world war 2 and refused to leave the island. Essentially illegally occupying it from 1941-1948 when denmark gave up on kicking the US out and signed on to NATO. It is also important to point out that the US has been pushing for Greenlands independence from denmark since atleast 2007 and has been investing in infrastructure to allow the island to function as an independent nation for the last 20 years
America doesnt want Greenland for its resources or its defense. America wants Greenland because america sees the new world and especially north america as theres, the same way that russia views eastern europe or China views east Asia. And until the island is independent from denmark this issue will flare up again every few decades. Just like cuba, and just like canada.
From the outside, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone We’ll see how people react over time. At least from my perspective.
From a neutral view, this depends heavily on what happens next which turns this into more of a debate Let’s see what happens next. That’s the impression it gives me.
I get the idea, this solves one problem while creating another
there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which is why the comments look the way they do
Real talk, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that friction is hard to ignore At least from my perspective.
the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why this is getting picked apart That’s just how it reads to me.
Trying to be fair, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where people will push back
I get the idea, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which is why the comments look the way they do That part stands out. At least from my perspective.
To be fair, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where people will push back

the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what makes this interesting. This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Putting bias aside, this feels like a half-step, not a full move We’ll see how people react over time.

From where I sit, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s why opinions are all over the place Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
To be fair, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.

Not gonna lie, this comes across more reactive than planned which turns this into more of a debate We’ll see how people react over time.
If we’re being honest, the direction makes sense but the details are messy Not convinced this is settled yet.

At first glance, the main issue seems to be how this is handled Curious how this plays out.
